The Reinhart-Rogoff study proclaims that high debt causes slow growth (so austerity is the answer). However, the study has been recently debunked as its conclusion was reached by the use of fuzzy math.
Simple math errors or ideology? The Reinhart-Rogoff study was funded by Pete Peterson, a billionaire who stands to make more billions if our social safety net is privatized. Mr. Rogoff is a member of the Board of the Peterson Institute, and Ms. Reinhart attends Peterson Institute functions along with such regulars as Paul Ryan and Alan Simpson.
Austerity is manufactured hysteria to make us believe that government spending is the problem, when in fact it's low tax revenue. The Peterson/Reinhart/Rogoff fix was in to convince us to think otherwise.
I await Mr. Alger's rant.
Phil, I know you would want a preview prior to publication. Seems we cannot rely on anything anymore -- everything has the fix in.Reply |
Colonel, good evening - - - LINK - Lost in all this sound and fury is the real question that we should be debating: Is it appropriate to infer that high debt is driving slower growth, and hence governments need to take greater care before taking on debt? Or is lower GDP growth, or perhaps some other factor, the reason that debt burdens rise? If the observed correlations reflect the latter reason (and there are hints that it may), then the whole exercise has little relevance to public policy. - - - I say, lost on many is the hard math of high growth. We all just 3%, 4%, 5%, 6% growth . . . until the consequences of compounding ultimately produce an unsustainable bubble. Choose your misery. Slow, boring sustainable growth or fast exciting unsustainable growth. . . . . A = P(1+r/n)^nt ultimately produces an unsustainable result. Bernanke may actually know something . . .Reply |
. . . We all just love 3% . . .Reply |
Colonel, what th' hey?!!! I'm thinking that there are more immediate concerns than geeky chat over the Reinhart-Rogoff study. For instance - - - LINK - Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to "transactional sex" for survival.Reply |
No, no Phil, geeky chat over the fix being in is much more important. And, as for those Democrats you mention, they're NUTS. Perhaps we should shoot for no growth or negative growth, and then we never have to fear the bubble and Hillary will be defeated in 2016. Now, I hunker down and await the wrath of Mr. Alger.Reply |
Mr. Alger, JAMES E. LONGHOFER is calling you out. . . . calling Mr. Alger . . . Mr. Alger?Reply |
Mr. McSwift, I don't think Mr. Alger does the computer thing here on this thread. Once my letter is published, he will reply with the full force of his austerity rant in the paper. Actually, I'm not against limits on government spending because of so much waste -- I just think cuts must be combined with revenue. It cannot be just one without the other.Reply |
James this is sort of a poor fit with Reinhart-Rogoff, but I trust you to forgive me. - - - LINK - Reid: More funding needed to prevent ObamaCare from becoming 'train wreck'Reply |
Phil, I heard this on the radio today..."ObamaCare is like a monkey making love to a football". Affordable Care Act? Ha!Reply |
DB, would that be a male or a female football?Reply |
Phil, it was touch and go there for a while, but I forgive you.Reply |
Speaking of austerity the Kentucky Derby is this Saturday..AND...Because It is such a great American tradition with lots of big hats and loads of money floating around I'm sure King Obama is already thinking of ways to get his mitts on some of it....Who knows, maybe he'll impose a nice hefty tax on Mint Juleps and jockey whips?.....Anyway, I'll be heading for Tahoe to watch the ponies run...Maybe I'll lay some scratch down on a couple 50 to 1 long-shots...Hey, don't laugh, it's a lot better odds than Hillary has in 2016.Reply |
R.J., if you want to beat Hillary in 2016 do not put any of the following on the Republican ticket: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Louis Gohmert, or Jeff Flake. Find a respectable Republican to run or you will have Hillary for eight years. Learn from Mitt Romney. OK, I was kidding about Louis -- he's totally nuts.Reply |
Colonel, I think the Hillbilly already has too many negatives going on and I know there will be more to come. Can America be that stupid? Woops...I take that statement back. Right now I'm more concerned for 2014. Stay tuned.Reply |
Wishful thinking Col...Even if she runs, Hillary already has way too much baggage to win...Plus, If history has shown us anything, by the year 2016 our Nation's political pendulum will have swung back fully to the side of the conservative, leaving any Republican with a pulse to beat Her like a rented mule..No pun intended...Reply |
R.J. - - - Complete odds: 1. Black Onyx 50/1 2. Oxbow 33/1 3. Revolutionary 9/1 4. Golden Soul 50/1 5. Normandy Invasion 9/1 6. Mylute 16/1 7. Giant Finish 50/1 8. Goldencents 11/2 9. Overanalyze 14/1 10. Palace Malice 25/1 11. Lines of Battle 33/1 12. Itsmyluckyday 12/1 13. Falling Sky 50/1 14. Verrazano 4/1 15. Charming Kitten 25/1 16. Orb 4/1 17. Will Take Charge 20/1 18. Frac Daddy 40/1 19. Java's War 16/1 20. Vyjack 14/1Reply |
R.J., against all odds I predicted Obama the winner in 2012. I now predict Hillary as the winner in 2016. As for a shift in thinking of voters, the Party of NO continues to being seen as the party of NO, and this will continue up to the 2016 election. Not smart to be the party of NO. And, the frosting on the cake is that women want a female president so some Republicans will have to vote for her or spend time sleeping on the couch. The female vote (with a few Republican husbands) will carry Hillary to the White House as a response to the Party of NO.Reply |
Phil....I think the wife is going with Goldencents at 11/2 to win, and black onyx at 50/1 to show...While myself, I do like Revolutionary at 9/1 and Charming Kitty at 25/1, but doing a little research I do think Goldencents is the best bet on the board, just have a feeling....Reply |
I find it interesting that it would require "a study" to conclude the obvious. Debt consumes resources, resources that could otherwise be used for productive purposes. Debt dollars don't produce anything. 40+% of Stockton's budget goes to public sector retiree benefits and that obligation keep growing. Is teaching our kids to save money bad financial advise? Should we instead be teaching them to acquire as much debt as possible and that their goal should be to make the interest on their debt be equal to their monthly income? obama came into office and threw a really big pile of money at the economy, or at least selected parts of the economy that helped him get elected and did things improve? Last time I checked the single cause of decline in unemployment is because they don't count the people who gave up looking for a job. Dependence breeds dependence, the new slogan for the leftists running this country should be "No Child Left A Dime".Reply |
Something that does not get any reporting or any attention from the media or even our elected representatives is the ever increasing taxation on small business. I know my fair share of small business owners and everyone of them say the same thing, what they pay in monthly taxes would allow them to hire multiple full time employees. For those of you who believe taxes have not gone up you couldn't be more wrong. It is insane what some of them pay in monthly taxes. There are those who believe that more taxation is needed to support the government because government will lead us out of this stagnant economy. Those are the people who refer to excessive taxation as "revenue". In order for what they believe to be true it would mean money has more value in the hands of government than it does in the hands of small business and the private citizen. And that is like believing that leftism is compassion. The federal government has become so big that they don't even know how many agencies there are. http://www.capitalisminstitute.org/how-many-agencies/Reply |
I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that the study was debunked. Then your own summation of government spending not being a problem and low taxes is the real problem is pretty much only your own. The US citizen is the highest taxed person in the world. That's a fact. The only problem with their study is if high debt causes slow growth or does slow growth cause high debt. But in any case common sense would show that increased spending with out increasing taxes to compensate would cause a higher debt.Reply |
James E-The Republicans Party is a party of No's. Well the Democrat Party is the Nanny Party. Oh wait, with the ages of the leaders,(Hillary-65, in 2016 she will be 69; Biden-70,in 2016 he will be 74; Kerry-69,in 2016 he will be 73;Reid-73, in 2016 he will be 77; Boxer-72, in 2016 she will be 76; Feinstein-79, she will be 83; and Pelosi-73, in 2016 she will be 77.)the Democrat Party isn't the Nanny Party, it is the GREAT-GRAND NANNY. No wonder they have such old fashion ideas.Reply |
Dee: There now seems to be a new Dee on this site? Are you the "old Dee"? Message for Dee #1: The Roundabout is on tomorrow night's City Council agenda.Reply |
Evelyn- If you count DeeDee, there are three. Thanks for update. I'm thinking about changing my name. We will see. But I'm the Tea Party Dee.Reply |
Evelyn, I thought that the City Council had already approved the EIR. What do you think of a referendum on the Roundabout?Reply |
1st point: A Univ of Mass Grad student was studying the way the Harvard 'experts' Reinhart-Rogoff got their RESULTS.... He couldn't reproduce it (Since then 4 other students and one professor tried and couldn't either.)..... 2nd point: Debit=What you owe, like your Mortgage. (Pay off your mortgage BEFORE you put food on the table?)... It's time we stop letting Legislators who couldn't get job in the public sector..... tell us about Math.... Democrat or Republican...Reply |
Austerity. I think Dink puts it in a way we can all understand -- would you pay off your mortgage before you buy food for your family? What sane person would? Well, of course Mr. Alger would as he would be debt free, but he and his family would be dead.Reply |
Based on our Progressive talking point of "would you pay off your mortgage before you buy food?" This statement meaning what? What food are we not buying? What are we mortgaging? What have we purchased with the sum we owe? Who do we plan to pay for it? Who are making the decisions? The reality is government spending is 40% of our National GDP. It is obvious that the goal of the democrat socialist is to have the government control 100% of the GDP.Reply |
Dee#1 - THIS is tomorrow night's Roundabout agenda item (35 pages): "SUBJECT: Review Information from April 30, 2013 Neighborhood Chat Regarding Clay Street Bridge and Cedar Ravine/Main Street Intersection Improvements and Direct Staff to Proceed with Design Workshop." To the best of my knowledge City Council to date has said nothing about the EIR. But the Court has said the City must do one before proceeding with any part of the project that was part of the 2011 Roundabout lawsuit. I'm uncertain whether the matter of the EIR will be addressed at tomorrow's meeting. Some think it will be. I don't know the order/timing of steps the City must take. But I DO KNOW that public input is required. PLEASE COME IF YOU CAN. Referendum? Worth considering.Reply |
Ken, think macro -- our national debt is around $16.5 Trillion. Not sure what we take in in federal taxes but let's assume $4 Trillion a year. In austerity, we pay $1 Trillion for defense and $1 Trillion for homeland security. The remaining $2 Trillion goes to our national debt. Everything else is gone. Tax money goes only to national defense, homeland security, and national debt. Not a dollar left for any other program. The "austerians" love this, but I don't. My letter to the editor stands without further comment.Reply |
Evelyn-I don't know if we make it or not. We are going out of town and will be making last minute arrangements. But I'll try. The Facebook site Hangtown.com had info and I misread it, too big of a hurry. Hope to see you at the meeting.Reply |
Dee#1: The Roundabout discussion probably will be dealt with some time into the 2nd hour of the meeting. (That's my guess, based on it's placement on the Agenda and the particular items that come before.) Don't know if that helps.Reply |
Evelyn- Thanks. That does help. These meetings become very, very long.Reply |
L o o o n g, indeed. But a reminder: CC meetings now start at 6pm.Reply |
Evelyn-thanks for the reminder. We'll try to be there around 7:00 p.m.Reply |
James, we do not need to assume anything. Total Fed taxes last year was 2.3 Trillion dollars. The Government spent 4 trillion dollars. Our US total GDP was 14.8 trillion dollars. The US tax Payer paid 800 billion dollars in state taxes. Unless there is a different math then 33% our entire economy goes to paying for the government institution. James you seem to think that the government is running efficiently. I'll give you an example of where it doesn't. Do you think a government employee should retire at age 50 with full pay and benefits for the rest of their lives? Who's going to pay for this problem? Shouldn't they work like the rest of us until 65? Maybe at 50 have a fireman work in the school administration or some other management position?Reply |
Ken, proposed budget this year is 3.9 Trillion income, with 3.2 Trillion expenditures, with a deficit of 773 Billion. In that 3.2 Trillion we spend about 900 Billion in the military and same to Home Land Defense (not sure of exact amounts because a lot of it is black money) so about half goes to Defense/Home Land Security. I've never said the government runs efficiently. There is minimum to gross fraud, waste, and abuse in almost every Department. Strangely, our Congress doesn't want to focus on that, instead wasting their time on Hillary, voting for the demise of Obamacare, and screaming austerity. Maybe they don't want to focus on fraud, waste, and abuse because a lot of it goes to those who make contributions to them. Do firemen really get 100% of their pay and benefits in retirement? Think the CHP gets 90 percent and military officers get about 60% of their final pay plus benefits (said to be 75% but that is of the base pay). Solutions? I cannot speak to firemen (except to stop the practice making every other firemen a Chief) or the CHP, but I have often pondered on the massive loss of talent when military personnel retire in their 40s or 50s. There must be some way to capture that talent until they are 65. But, not sure how to do it without taking positions from civilians. Getting back to the "austerians," they want to make the government small enough to drown it in a bathtub (where have we hard this before?), with the only functions being defense/Homeland Defense and Congressional pay and benefits (retirement and health insurance), and paying off the national debt their only remaining interest. One final comment about early retirements just came to mind -- perhaps we should get civilians to fight the fires, patrol the highways, and fight the wars with no provisions for retirements. Look at the money the government could save.Reply |
*** srike hard, add heard.Reply |
James, the $16.5 trillion debt figure excludes debt obligations. It is a government accounting trick to use calculations other than GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) which if used would include financial obligations such as pensions, healthcare and many other real costs. The debt under GAAP is north of $100 trillion. It is like the left jumping out of windows over sequester when in reality government spending went up.Reply |
James, It's not 3.9 trillion dollars income. It's the government spent 3.9 trillion dollars. The government raised only roughly 2.4 trillion dollars in taxes in 2112. We borrow roughly 1.4 trillion dollars to fund what ever it is we are spending it on. Yes fireman retire at 50 with their retirements fully funded. So do most fed workers like Air traffic controllers. Our government has been spending an average of 1.4 trillion dollars more a year than they raise in taxes these past 5 years. Taking the cap off of Social Security will not come close to covering the differential. Remember you wanted to tax the evil 1%'ers? The Fed as well as California did just that this year. Still a 1.4 trillion dollar deficit to cover. Here's the problem, the left doesn't think there is a problem. They even went the other way and had a 33% tax holiday on social security these last couple of years. The over spending isn't investing anything it's just spending. Reality is coming at us like a light in a tunnel. The question is who hears the whistle?Reply |
Ken, I said proposed income, not income from last year. We will have to see how close proposed income comes to actual income this year. In the interim, let's agree to disagree, as neither will convince the other. A final thought: Austerity is wrong in a period of a slow economy -- I've discussed this with Mr. Fred and I'm not even sure he understands the words austerity or increased revenue. Lucky little boy.Reply |
The question of whether you would pay off your mortgage before you put food on the table is a seriously weak attempt at sweeping hundreds billions of government waste under the rug. Our government is addicted to spending and they will tell anyone willing to listen that cutting spending will bring everything crashing down. The same way a drug addict will lie, cheat and steal to get another fix. The more they spend, the more obligation they put on the taxpayer, and the further we get from growing the economy. Keynesian economics is a single generation theory. obama has added @ $6trillion to the national debt in just over 4 years and we are no closer to a recovery than when he started. He has managed to grow the number of people in poverty and that is about it. We are feeding an insatiable beast known as the federal government while at the same time assigning the American citizens into servitude of never ending debt where they won't be able to pay of their mortgage or put food on the table.Reply |
I read Cookie's comments on austerity without rancor.Reply |
James, that is probably because I didn't write down the first thing that popped in my head when I read the choice was mortgage or food. I spotted that for what it is the second I saw it. It is not an original thought from Dink. It is something he picked up somewhere else and is just repeating it. It is nothing more than a thoughtless, empty argument intended to be repeated. It can probably be traced down to some leftist blog or talking points source where they provide empty nonsense for the mindless lemmings to runaround repeating without ever thinking about what they are saying, kind of like hope and change. At this point it has probably spread all over the sites that tell the obama supports what to believe. Another thing you can be sure of is who ever coined believes there are no limits to how big government can be. The part that always astonishes me is how easily allegedly intelligent people will repeat such things without the first thought of how silly they sound.Reply |
James, I re-read your 7:15 pm post from yesterday. As well as your L.T.E. It is very apparent that you don't actually realize the trouble we as a society, as a country and as a people are. I used to discuss the importance of a robust economy to facilitate paying for a large government. Now I sit back and watch those who believe, as you do, people spending their way out of debt. As I have stated many times, the finger pointing is over. The democrat socialist have their government. They run the country as well as the economy. Basic principals of mathematics and morality have no place in today's government. I do have a bitter appreciation of how people in Rome must have felt while Nero was burning it.Reply |
Here is an answer to the "mortgage/food" question. Like I said in an earlier comment, NEITHER. http://www.nbcnews.com/business/federal-government-creates-more-low-wage-jobs-walmart-1C9910466Reply |
Cookie: Actually I have used the analogy for many years.... In many of my Mt. Democrat posts..... National DEBT = The amount you owe to SS, $$$ paid to states, Roads, Contractors building ships and such..........KEEP THE ROOF OVER THE COUNTRY'S HEAD............. Deficit = the bills you pay to keep the country going such as Military Pay, Police (the Grant to keep Stockton's force), Legislator's pay, and such..... PUTS $$$$ IN PEOPLES POCKETS SO THEY CAN FEED THEIR KIDS...... Get it? Not some Leftist theosophy (mystical insight).....Reply |
One more thing -- When some knocks how BADLY the government works.... Just look at the "Private Prisons" or "Private Water Agencies."...... They are Private businesses.... So when a Murderer (Arizona) escapes and kills camper.... or when Water costs jump by 130% (Modesto) and the public has NO SAY .... ask yourself.... Who is REALLY getting off CHEAPER and MORE EFFICIENT?Reply |
Dink, here is "your" talking point from huffpo. A place I have been booted from 4 times, once for using the term "fencepost". They have no use for a difference of opinion there. "Families Going Hungry To Keep Their Homes". Our future right before our eyes and still you and millions of others like you refuse to learn from it. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/03/27/uk-austerity-families-going-hungry-_n_2960872.htmlReply |
RE - Reinhart-Rogoff LINK - The core trait of a scientific mind is that when its commitments clash with evidence, evidence rules. On that count, what grade do liberals deserve? Fail, given their reaction to the latest evidence on universal health care, global warming, and universal preschool.Reply |
Good job with that BOLD. Clearly I'm a scientist!Reply |
Phil, always right wing sites. Come on. What do you expect from right wing authors working for right wing research organizations? There mission is to obfuscate with esoteric "knowledge," known but to a few right wingers. So, you gave me a F, I'll have to give you a F minus for a totally suspect reference. You can raise your grade if you will, in the future, just check the politics of the source before you use it as a reference. Other than that, it was just beautiful out today -- warm, but not too warm. Took Mr. Fred to the oncologist in Sacramento -- he continues to do well.Reply |
from right wing ABC . . . LINK - When Marion Bower decided to start her tea party organization in 2010, she didn't know that it would take nearly two years for the Internal Revenue Service to approve her request for tax-exempt status. . .. "They wanted to know what materials we had discussed at any of our book studies." . . . She also sent a paperback copy of the Constitution.Reply |
Phil, right wingers have said that ABC is left wing media. How can you quote them given ABC is liberal media? Well, anyway, the IRS/Tea Party scandal will be interesting. Will someone at the IRS be charged? Will the IRS audit me this year? Actually, I laugh because I just this year found that my Schedule A is less that the standard deduction for old folks. So, this year and every year in the future, it's income, standard deduction, and how much I owe. I no longer live in fear of the IRS!!!!!! USA USA USA.Reply |
*** strike there, add theirReply |
James, you are such an accommodating fellow! I know you will not mind this - - - LINK - Joe Biden - U.S. Would Be 'Safer,' 'Happier' if Bullets Were ChocolateReply |
Phil, is there any reference to jesse jackson or rev. al ever having any delays in their tax exempt status? I wonder if Acorn ever got audited?Reply |
Cookie, do you have James' permission to junk up his tack board?Reply |
I was going to offer this to James for his tack board. It may be a right-leaning site but if not for them, who else is going to report it? http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/14/irs-official-lerner-approved-exemption-for-obama-brothers-charity/Reply |
Phil, I always operated under the premise that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission. My dad always had an issue with my tactics.Reply |
Phil, if bullets were chocolate, we would be fatter. As you may recall, I have stayed out of the gun/Second Amendment debate because I don't know where the answer is along the continuum. No question the VP has his foot in his mouth a lot of the time.Reply |
Both Phil and Cookie have my permission for anything.Reply |
Ahhh yes! - Lois Slow Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision . . . (I do not believe that a girl is going down on this)Reply |
Cookie, I read the site you provided. It looks like Ms. Lerner has been caught with her hand in the partisan cookie (no pun intended) jar. Question: Will she be terminated or promoted?Reply |
Wasn't Zero down in Belize recently . . . or was it Missus Zero? - - - LINK - The Ministry of Tourism and Culture expressed outrage at the demolition of the Nohmul complex in northern Belize to extract crushed rock for a road project. It said it is investigating to determine precisely how it happened. . . . anyway it was probably a Cope Brothers neocon conservative contractorReply |
Ms. Lerner may get promoted. In any governmental organization if they like you you can do no wrong, but if they don't like you you will get canned if you smile the wrong way. So guess we will see if they like Ms. Lerner.Reply |
Phil, could it have been Halliburton? It could have been a Darth Vader project.Reply |
I don't know, James. As long as it wasn't Cousin Doug . . . .Reply |

A devilish girl who lives up to the post-80s youth stereotype – hedonistic, frivolous and rebellious – except I love traditional afternoon tea rather than a quick caffeine fix at Starbucks.
I make a living off others' criminal activities. It's a busy job and I really wish I could retire, so I can become a full-time afternoon tea connoisseur instead. :j
I love any tea that has nice scent, great flavour and lovely packaging. My current top favourite brands are Mariage Freres, Kusmi Tea, Lupicia, T2, and THE O DOR. ;)
Btw, check out my tea-themed board on Pinterest, if you like tea and pretty things!

Readers reflect back to the days when naming their servers involved imagination and the ability to possess a sense of humor.
OK, we get the picture. So we're withholding crucial identifying information (gee, that was easy) from these gems submitted by kind souls who share our love of total nonsense, while hoping the day will come when we can collectively lighten up.
10. Holy Crappie
Over the years, one Kansas City-based reader has seen naming conventions based on actors, monsters and eventually, fish. "Bass, Grouper (Lotus Notes, of course), Pike and so on. We were a Dell shop, so when we were forced to install a Compaq server for Citrix access from other sites, that
server was dubbed 'Crappie!'"
9. "You Cannot
Be Serious!"
Stephen Platt started naming servers for great tennis players, such as Williams, Agassi, Connors and Graf. "After all, they're 'servers,'" he says. "We were going to use McEnroe, but we didn't want a server that blew up all the time."
8. Lunchtime Musings
A network engineer whose identity I have chosen to protect for his own good says, "We have named servers based on how we feel after eating in the company cafeteria: Queasy, Smelly, Squishy, Rotten and Whatisit. Of these, Queasy is still in production after four years. The rest have been thrown out with the other leftovers."
7. Inmates Runing the Asylum
"Before we were taken over by a company with absolutely no imagination, all of our servers and printers were given names related to Monty Python's Flying Circus," says one contributor who preferred to remain anonymous. "Our newest printer was named
Asylum, referring to the work conditions prevalent at the time."
6. Lasting Impressions
"I started naming my office
network based on my impressions of Microsoft at that time (and maybe still)," says Kerry Erb, who runs his own computer service business. Choice examples include:
5. Chardonnay with that Gruyere?
Mike Piontkowski of Irvine, Calif., had a client that named all of its infrastructure servers after cheeses. "Not only was it tough to remember the function of each because the name had no correlation, but it was difficult to spell and say some of them, like Camembert, Gouda and Gruyere," he says. "It would have been nice if they named their printers after wines."
4. Elvis Lives
One anonymous contributor worked for a client that had a server named Elvis. "Whenever the server was pinged, it responded with 'Elvis is alive.'"
3. Admins Behaving Badly
Tim Hoekstra used to work in "a pretty loose shop," that had wide discretion in terms of server names. They abused it admirably, naming servers after beers, including Becks and Tecate. "But my favorite two servers were our WINS servers: Crash and Burn."
2. Hello, Newman
In addition to dead presidents, Matthew Woods, a network admin in Chicago, says his company's servers are named after Seinfeld characters: "Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, Costanza and Newman—the mail server, of course!"
1. Imagine the
Douglas Peters, senior network technician with Examination Management Services Inc., in Waco, Texas, gets my vote for most creative name—even if he's never used it. "I've always wanted to name a server 'MyPants,' just to hear the users shout 'MyPants is down!'"

It occurred to me at a previous job that nobody had more "control" over their "domain" than did the Caesars of the Roman Empire. So the Active Directory domain controllers were named Julius, Octavian, Claudius and Nero.
We use names of capitals; not exciting, but easy to remember and educational. National capitals (Paris, Oslo, Delhi, etc.) are used for the primary servers. State capitals (Annapolis, Richmond, etc.) are for minor servers and test systems.
Our main domain controller is Paris and the primary backup is Berlin. That way, if Paris falls, Berlin takes over.
Our larger printers are called coffee and tea. The smaller ones are called sugar, cream and honey. Oh yeah, our HP plotter is called HarryPlotter.
I used to work in the Active Directory support group at Microsoft. In talking to the customers, I got to hear all sorts of naming conventions, from superheros, to characters from Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, to Simpsons characters.
But the one that stood out was the medical processing lab that named their servers after venereal diseases. That case took about a week to work, and it was fun explaining about how Clamidia and Gonorrhea were not replicating, and how syphilis was causing problems.
We had all our servers based on Dilbert characters. Dilbert was the main production server. Wally was the SQL server. Dogbert and Catbert were the two terminal servers, with Ratbert as the backup TS. :)
I think one should name a server "YourMom"
- Your Mom went down on me again
-I just turned on Your Mom
I can looking for some serious stuff, but stayed back and enjoyed this.
Worked for a company that named all of their Lotus Notes servers after Lord of the Rings characters. Strider and the like were easy to remember, but when it came to names like Evenstar, they got pretty complex.
Being a part of the Performing Arts, when I arrived at this company, they had servers named after the King Arthur days such as, Mordred, Uther, Lanelot, Merlin...etc... Now we just call em PAC???? whaever their primary function is such as PACMAIL, etc... Booorrrinnngggg
After I became the official network administrator instead of just the guy doing the work I started getting a little more creative naming the servers. Our web server is Charlotte, our anti-virus and spam-filtering server is Doctor and our NAS is TheVault.
I am familiar with a company that named their servers after astronomical objects (pluto, nebula, nova, etc.) One of their techs told me that while they decided it best not to do so, they always wanted to name a server after one particular planet that way when a user was looking for a file they could tell them "did you check uranus"?
We had two Sun systems that were primary and secondary. The primary system was Monica, the secondary system was Bill. The point was that the only time Bill would come up, was when Monca went down. :-)

Durham >Food & Dining > Texas Roadhouse
1809 North Pointe Dr., Durham, NC | Directions 2770536.029528 -78.922156
Neighborhoods: Duke Homestead
rudeness from the front door – I went to Texas roadhouse tonight to meet up with some friends, and when I got there I found my friends upset at the "incompetent morons" who were seating people. It seems there was a section where my friends could have sat, and been comfortable, as they both were in a car accident, and are still getting surgery to recover from it. The seating staff seemed to not care about their discomfort, and when I asked one of the hostesses I think she was blond what the problem was she said that section is closed, and then she added I do not care if they are not comfortable. Now I have only been to a Texas roadhouse once before and it was not the greatest, but the service was far better then this was
Texas--themed barbecue chain provides carnivores with a family-friendly spot for a hand-cut steak or rack of tender ribs. – In Short
With dozens of locations spread across most of the country, this faux-roadhouse chain has become a dependable spot for families in search of a casual spot for affordable steaks and down-home comfort fare. The playful menu is dotted with kid-friendly titles (chicken "critters," "road kill" chopped sirloin) and options (add caramel and marshmallow to a baked sweet potato for a dollar). In-house hand-cut steaks come in a plethora of cuts and sizes.
two words.......... NOT recommended – The meat was old, hard, dry and inedible, the fries were cold and soggy. I sent it back. A half an hour later, waiter cameback, It was medium to med rare, however, the meat was still tough and chewy. A CHEAP cut of meat, like a potroast and not a prime rib. Who are they fooling?.
Staff was not friendly actually our waiter was snotty when we (a table of 8) would ask for anything. The salad was prepackaged not something you would expect from a steakhouse. Being a table of 8 the grautity was automatically included, I don't have a problem with tipping someone that does a good job but our waiter came across as -oh well I will get my grautity reguardless of the service.- I would not recommend this resturant to anyone. As a matter of fact as we were exiting the resturant the table next to us commented about the terible service and food they recieved also.
Very bad customer service, – My steak was prety good, but, they have to do something about customer service, I visited this place a couple of times and it was a very bad experience with the servers. my order was wrong, and when I bring it to the server attention, she keep saying "I'm going to change it but, thats what you order" .
not coming back.
Good but not great restaurant – I agree with the previous reviewer about the employees. Our waitress wasn't the best. Four of us had dinner on a Saturday night. She got my friend's order completely wrong. I asked for butter on the side for my potato but it was drowning on it. She accidentally dropped a steak knife on me and only apologized a bit. She really didn't seem to care.
My steak was very good. Do know that they overcook everything. I asked for medium rare and it was basically medium or medium well. The salad was pretty good as was the potato (after I scraped the butter off). The rolls are delicious. One friend got chicken which was luke warm.
Overall, it was a good experience but I don't know if I will go back. If you do decide to go, make sure you call ahead so you don't have to wait as long.
Not recomended, * * * * not coming back – There is some very rude and idiot people working here, besides Mandy, the cashier, the food is Ok, but not that good, I defenitly not coming back, I rather go to the IHOP restaurant for a steak omelet,
Worth the 25 minute drive from Raleigh – I live in downtown Raleigh in close proximity to dozens of steakhouses, and I don't think twice about a trip to Durham for a steak. Texas Roadhouse has an amazing call ahead seating program that allows me to call on my way out the door, and be seated after wading through the waiting patrons who can't get enough of this wonderful food. The atmosphere is great, the wait staff is some of the best around, and the food...again....it is worth the 25 minute drive. How many other steakhouses have a wait almost every night of the week? None...why is that? No one makes a steak like they do!
yum yum! – this restaurant is SO GOOD! the best steak, mashed potatoes and gravy you could ever ask for! Sometimes I crave their bread like crazy, which is so good, and it comes with cinnamon butter. I would suggest this restaurant to everyone! It's my favorite.
Awsome!!!!!! – I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!! The food is awsome! This is my favorite restaurant and I will choose it over any other any day of the week. The value for what you get is great!! You are allowed to pick out your own steak if you want to, the homemade yeast rolls are to die for and the vegetables are out of this world! Every item on the menu is delicious! The atmosphere is exciting and interactive! It is truly a southern experience--peanut shells on the floor (purposely of course), servers line dance together to certain songs every hour or so and they are all extremely friendly!! I could go on and on!! Just go see for yourself!!
very rude staff, from the host to the cashier very rude people

Each year, Artown asks local artists to submit their work for consideration and this year a record 19 artists participated in the process. Albitre's painting serves as the foundation for Artown's 2012 marketing components that include the annual poster, website and collateral including the Artown calendar, T-shirts and more.
The 26-year-old Albitre is a Reno native and works as a iron worker. Although he has no formal artistic training, Albitre attributes his self-taught art to influences ranging from politics and religion to nature and beyond with a painting technique typical of oil portraiture, using several layers and glazes. He credits his father's painting with being his earliest artistic influence, though he says that today he finds his inspiration in current events.
For example, in 2006, when the Republican Party lost the House of Representatives, Albitre did a series of paintings of elephants in dunce caps performing in a circus. Right now, he is working on paintings that are a critique of the Catholic church. He also works in ceramic and clay sculpture and last year he did a series of trophy-style busts that are a commentary on hunting. Albitre created the busts to resemble humans, using various recognizable figures as his models, including a semblance of Abraham Lincoln.
His paintings and sculptures have been featured in a number of regional galleries including: Nevada Museum of Art and Holland Show Space in Reno; Northstar California in Truckee, Calif.; Patrick Painter Gallery in Santa Monica, Calif.; Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles; and Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
For Artown, Albitre wanted to create a piece that symbolized the artistic beauty many people keep boxed up inside. He also wanted to do the Artown piece for some good, old-fashioned exposure.
"Not too many shows or events or galleries give as much exposure as Artown does," he said.
In addition to the Artown commission, Albitre has received honorary awards and recognition including two Gold Keys from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards and two awards for editorial cartooning in 2002 and 2003 from the Society of Professional Journalists.
For more information on Artown, visit www.renoisartown.com or call 322-1538.

Daniel Yousif weighs some fish while brother-in-law Justin Gian readies some more of the Fabian Seafood catch in 2011 . The Fabian truck is scheduled to be back in the area this Saturday, a sure sign of spring. Sun-Times Media file photo
Updated: May 6, 2013 6:10AM
ELGIN — It's a sure sign of spring: Like the swallows coming back to Capistrano, the Fabian Seafood truck will be returning to set up shop, and the customers will be lining up for the first time this year on Saturday afternoon outside the Ziegler's Ace Hardware, 1158 Lillian St., on Elgin's west side.
Fabian Seafood is a 38-year-old family business based out of Galveston, Texas, that has several independent owners, each of whom covers a different part of the Midwest. The haul for sale typically includes fresh, wild-caught shrimp, blue crab meat and, season permitting, shucked oysters, crawfish tails, whole red snapper and flounder.
"This Saturday, we will have fresh wild-caught shrimp and shucked oysters," Sarah Ascanio said. "Justin is having me remind everyone that these are some of the best oysters of the season."
The suburban Chicago route belongs to Justin Gian, who hires a helper during the selling season to assist on the road. In these parts, in addition to Elgin, Gian has set up temporary fish markets in Woodstock, Lake Villa, Fox Lake, Naperville and at the Mount Prospect Farmers Market.
Gian and Ascanio, who is his sister, have been involved in the family business since they were teenagers. Ascanio takes care of email inquiries, postcard mailings and general customer service for her brother.
Last year, Ascanio told The Courier-News, "Fabian Seafood has been coming to the Chicago area for more than 30 years. Believe it or not, we still have customers who have been coming out for at least 20 years My grandparents were the ones who used to have Justin's route and sell in Chicago before passing it down to him when they retired."
"Justin used to be a hired helper on the road with my uncle's truck," Ascanio said. "Three years ago, Justin took over an entire route, which he now owns and operates. He travels to locations in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin."
The company's selling season runs from April until November, and usually involves at visit every three weeks to a particular area. People can sign up to be on the mailing list either on-site or through the company website, www.fabianseafood.com.
"As soon as the schedule is made, postcards are printed with the sale dates and times, and mailed out to all of our customers," Ascanio said. "This gives our customers several days in advance notice to plan for our arrival. I also send out email reminders to those who have provided us their email addresses. The notices will always indicate what types of seafood we are expected to be bringing that trip, and the postcards contain a 30-cents-per-pound discount."
Ascanio said her brother purchases the seafood "directly from the boats at the docks near Galveston. The seafood is packed into coolers with ice and put on the refrigerated truck for transport up north. Justin then drives the load up, ready for the first selling day. Periodically throughout the trip, Justin has more fresh seafood flown up from Galveston to cover the whole selling trip. After the trip, Justin drives straight back home to Texas for a short rest and preparation for the next trip."
According to Ascanio, the Fabian truck will come to Elgin about 10 times this year, but her brother still is working on the final schedule, planning around opening and closing dates of local outdoor markets.
"Last year, we came to Elgin 11 times, which is only one trip more than an average year," Ascanio said.
This Friday, the Fabian truck will be in Woodstock from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Red Barn Farm Market along Route 47, one mile south of Route 14, then in Lake Villa from 3 to 6 p.m. at Railhouse Restaurant, 151 E. Grand St.
On Saturday, the truck will start off in Naperville from 9 a.m. to noon at Fifth Avenue Station Lot, 200 E. 5th Ave., and finish the day in Elgin at the Ace lot from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.

She obtained her Ph.D. degree in Medical Science at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea and joined the Cooke lab in 2008-2013. She worked on a nuclear reprogramming project to generate inducible pluripotent stem (iPS) cells using cell permeant peptide-based delivery of reprogramming factors. Recently, she and her group found the activation of innate immunity signaling induces epigenetic alteration that accelerates somatic cell reprogramming. Recognition of the role of innate immunity signaling in nuclear reprogramming may lead to insights that enhance the efficiency and quality of reprogramming and advance the therapeutic application of iPSCs. In 2014, she joined Bhutani's lab and has been working on differentiating chondrocytes from pluripotent stem cells as well as understanding the mechanism of nuclear reprogramming process toward generating improved fidelity in iPSCs with high efficiency.

The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that comprehensive travel insurance, including medical insurance, is obtained before travelling to Namibia. Travellers should note that the Irish government does not provide funds for emergency medical repatriation or for repatriation of remains.
· Visitors to Namibia should take sensible precautions to protect their personal safety such as keeping vehicles locked and valuable possessions out of sight.
· It is advisable to limit driving outside main towns to daylight hours.
· Medical facilities are of a good standard but you may be expected to pay up front and claim from your insurer directly. There are many health risks in Namibia which visitors should be aware of.
· Ensure you have up to date medical and travel insurance which covers the activities you intend to undertake in Namibia.
· Carry identification with you at all times.
Safety and Security
There is a global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets including places frequented by foreigners.
Most visits to Namibia are trouble free. However, visitors should take sensible precautions such as keeping vehicles locked and valuable possessions out of sight to avoid crimes such as muggings and car thefts. Do not enter townships at night unless accompanied by someone with local knowledge. Remain with your group/guide when visiting parks and game reserves.
There is a growing level of violent street crime affecting foreign tourists in Windhoek, even in daylight when gangs approach vehicles at busy road intersections. To protect yourself, keep car doors locked and windows up at all times.
It is not advisable to use taxis hailed on the street. Ask your hotel/accommodation to call a reputable company for you.
When driving ensure to have identification with you which you will be asked to produce at regular road blocks. When driving outside towns, wildlife and stray livestock can pose a serious hazard. Please avoid driving at night outside major towns. Do not use a mobile phone when driving. If you are driving the Caprivi Strip it is advisable to stick to the well-travelled routes.
Malaria, rabies and cholera are common in Namibia and pose a serious health risk. You should only drink or use boiled or bottled water. If you suffer from diarrhoea during a visit to Namibia you should seek immediate medical attention.
HIV/AIDS is prevalent in Namibia with current prevalence estimates at 13.1% of the adult population.
Medical facilities are of a good standard but you may be expected to pay for treatment up front even if you have insurance. Please ensure that you are fully aware of the conditions in the policy you have taken and what cover is provided should you become ill or involved in an accident whilst in Namibia.
Please check your travel insurance provider to ensure your policy covers the activities you intend to do in Namibia e.g. quad biking, dune boarding and hot air ballooning.
Local Laws and Customs
Visitors to Namibia should carry identification at all times – a photocopy of the relevant passport page is sufficient.
Drug taking and/or smuggling are criminal offences in Namibia and the punishments are severe.
Homosexuality is tolerated.
While there are no formal rules limiting photography at public buildings, caution should be exercised. If the army or police are protecting a building, check with them before taking a photograph.
Additional Country Info
The Namibian Dollar is tied to the South African Rand which is also legal tender in Namibia.

Actress Jessica Szohr recently hit the red carpet in L.A. rocking this seriously stylish smoldering eye. Create …We know, eye makeup can be intimidating. Applying liquid eyeliner and perfecting a smoky eye are not tasks that happen overnight, but you don't need your own personal makeup artist to perfect even the most complex looks. If the eyes really are the windows to your soul, you want them to be beautiful, not splotchy with caked on shadow and clumpy mascara! Ready for crash course 101? Follow our quick and easy guide to eye makeup.

When it comes to eyeshadow application, don't be afraid to layer textures. Gabriel Almodovar, makeup artist for Maybelline New York whose clients include Zoe Saldana and Vanessa Hudgens, says this will not only help your eyeshadow to stay put longer, but it will also make powder eyeshadow look more vibrant because of the cream texture underneath.Related: Olivia Wilde's Colorful Summer Eye Makeup: Get the Look
Start by using your finger to pat a light colored cream eyeshadow such as Maybelline's EyeStudio Color Tattoo Metal 24 HR Cream Gel Shadow in Inked In Pink ($5.59, drugstore.com) onto the middle of your eyelid and work your way into the crease. Then, use an eyeshadow brush (Almodovar loves the NARS Eye Shader Brush, $55, nars.com) to pat on your powder eyeshadow.
To create an easy smoky eye, start by applying an eyeliner pencil at the lash line and then smudging. Use a brush such as the NARS Eye Shader Brush, turn it upside down, and pat on. Then, take a ponytail eye makeup brush (Almodovar likes the NARS Large Dome Eye Brush, $33, nars.com) and soften the color into the crease. Next, blend. If you're a more of a smoky eye pro, blend a second color into the crease.
For a nude look, layer a nude cream eyeshadow over a nude eye powder then apply a brown eyeliner into the lash line and smudge. After curling your lashes, apply a brown or brown/black mascara instead of black to achieve a more natural look.
The best way to become an eyeliner applicaton pro? Practice. Also, don't freak out if you mess up. Just like a real pencil, you can easily erase your mistakes. The best way is to take a Q-Tip, douse it in eye makeup remover and gently go over the mistake. Wipe over the eye with tissue to remove and lingering residue and then start again.
Eyeliner Pencil
If you're new to this whole business of applying eyeliner, start with using a pencil and remember that imperfection is key. "Pencil eyeliners are for definition only and should always be smudged," Almodovar says.
First close your eye and hold the eyelid taut at the outer corner with your fingers. Sometimes the idea of creating a straight line can be a bit daunting, so the easiest way to use an eyeliner pencil is to use very short strokes and line the rim of your top eyelid with little dots or dashes. Then, just think of it as a game of connect-the-dots to fill in the gaps. Afterwards, use your finger or a tool to get to smudging-many pencils come with a brush or sponge on the other end. You can use this technique for both the top and bottom of the eye. If you're aiming to look more wide-eyed and awake, avoid applying heavy amounts of eyeliner on the bottom lash. Instead, stick to lining the top lash line only.
Liquid/Gel Eyeliner
Designed to give a crisp, clean line, liquid and gel eyeliners should never be smudged. "For gel eyeliner, use a pointy brush such as the Smashbox Angled Eyliner Brush and for liquid, apply straight from the applicator," Almodovar said. These liners are perfect if you're looking to create the winged, cat eye look. You can either make it subtle or channel your inner Adele by laying it on thick.
If you're new to the winged liner game, it's best to start with a potted gel eyeliner and a brush such as the Smashbox Arced Liner Brush #21 ($20, smashbox.com). This time you'll need to keep your eye open when creating the winged eyeliner look. Almodovar recommends applying the gel eyeliner first from inner corner to outer corner in one fluid line. Then, create the wing at the tip of your eye. This wing should be at a 45-degree angle. If you aren't sure if your wing is at the right angle, take a business card and hold against the outer corner of your eye. It will work like a ruler to help you create that perfect shape.
For instant volume, try an eyelash curler! Rest the center of the curler on your eyelid. Then, slowly close the curler to avoid any pinching. Make sure the lash curler is as close to the root as possible. Open and close the lash curler 5-8 times to create a bend in the eyelash.
"Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle" should be your mantra when it comes to mascara application. "The majority of your mascara should be [applied] at the root of the eyelash," said Almodovar. This adds a volumizing effect.
He suggests looking down and then gently wiggling the makeup wand back and forth while moving it upwards to coat your lashes. If done correctly, you won't have to worry about applying a second or third coat which will help you avoid clumping.
